In case you think I only rage and study, I also enjoy smart, horny girlypop and occasionally will do a whirlwind overnight to see it.

Great and important reporting here. But the administration has been pretty clear about how these judges need to rule in order to keep their jobs. So I think we’re well beyond perception of fairness.

I am heartened by this. A little.

I’m just waiting for Farmer’s Insurance to go after a local council candidate.

Even if you're gonna say that "well that happened forever ago," I got into roller derby bc of my knitting group and my current team is getting into knitting bc of me. Do you know how much rage you have to have to stab something with a needle 1000 times a night, every night, until you have a scarf?

I am no cybersecurity professional but this is the biggest “no shit” I’ve read in a while.

And after all that: settled. But hey, I have it for next time. And happy to provide to whoever might need it.

Lawyers: notoriously bad at tech Me: figuring out JavaScript commands to create dynamic exhibit stamps because nobody did it in pink yet and that’s what the local rules say I need fml

Only charge he was convicted of was failure to disperse. Great job @acluofky.bsky.social! www.wvxu.org/local-news/2...

So happy for @nixonnixoff.bsky.social and the team at Unit 221b on raising $5 million to make bad people sad. techcrunch.com/2025/09/22/u...

The Dept of Education is now accepting comments on a proposed rule that would overhaul Public Service Loan Forgiveness, and make it too expensive for students to go into work that threatens the Trump administration Folks have til *Sept. 17* to oppose the changes ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

THIS IS BAD

This is how Olthaus’s counsel attempted to argue actual malice in my case. With their whole chest. In multiple appeals. Loud wrong but insisted. Just an audition for this kind of stuff.

This is a very weird partnership: a hair company and a bakery-cafe? I don’t want hair treatment mist in my latte.

I cannot say this enough.

We shouldn’t be cowed into silence. But they can ruin lives. So we should be prepared to rally in defense of the groups and individuals they do target. Pro bono legal teams in place. Funding. Publicity. Protests.

….like, I’m trying to figure out the thought process behind this.

We’ve been living through 72 nonstop hours of this exact tweet

I just know some poor young-ish marketer had to explain what an “Etsy witch” was to her much older exec team yesterday. What a world. (I don’t miss having to do that.)

“What radicalized you?” Bro I was told to treat people the way I would want to be treated in kindergarten and it made sense idk what else there is to say

Typical.

It’s almost like experience counts and being a career fed isn’t political or something.

I got into Yale! Well. The Yale Law Journal. Don’t get too excited. ;) Sarah Swan’s article, The Plaintiff Police, mentions Olthaus v. Niesen as an example of police litigating claims of defamation flowing from misconduct. Really interesting read! www.yalelawjournal.org/article/the-...

Stellar explanation here and the points about LLM addiction are real. Look, it can be an OK tool but it doesn’t substitute for expertise or even the benefits we get from learning. And for god’s sake its writing is shit.

CA law: Cops must track & publicly document use of military equipment like Bearcats, drones, etc SAPD: *deployed Bearcats, LRAD & tactical robots 30x including 4 with SWAT & 11 at "community events" without saying why or if anyone got hurt for 2 years straight* SAPD: Oopsie pobody's nerfect 😊

I’m spending my morning reading it and I’ve decided I’m going to just drop “Lindsey Graham is gay” in conversation like “Hail, Hydra.”

EXACTLY what is happening in Cincinnati.

The “try that in a small town” reference is 👩🏻‍🍳💋

I hate Facebook but I’ve been doing a little writing over there about crime, Cincinnati, white fear and the manipulation of that fear with the goal of Federal city takeover. (If there are options other than Substack; I’m all ears.) www.facebook.com/share/16kh1B...

The bar exam was created to keep Black people and women out of law. Still not sure what the bar proves besides your ability to test— and pay to prep.

Illinois bill would bar police, ICE agents from wearing masks www.stltoday.com/news/local/i...

This is the entire reason I was interested in this trial. It not only exposed the corruption found in many LE orgs, but the inherent bias surrounding cash bail and how justice is only for those with money, honestly.

I don’t think it’s a stretch to see Catholic social teaching as centered on a concern with the oppressed and their emancipation I also don’t think it’s a stretch to suggest there have long been elements within the church that feel quite threatened by that

No one knows

BREAKING: The American Bar Association has sued the Trump administration on behalf of its members to put an end to Donald Trump's law firm intimidation project, calling Trump's efforts "unprecedented and uniquely dangerous to the rule of law." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Um. Please tell me there will be state charges too. I just see a pardon otherwise.

Come on.

Jordan v. New London at work here (The case that established that police could refuse to hire candidates who scored too high on intelligence assessments).

Reminder: You don't actually need to even throw a brick at cops for cops to say you threw a brick at them

I guess my policy of never opening the door for police is a solid one.

This military parade could’ve been a Signal chat

I’ve been chatting with a woman at the bar at a restaurant next to my hotel. We had a lovely time! Meanwhile, her husband was blowing her up thinking she was talking with men. So he FaceTimes her and I pop in and wave and he gets madder. The “male loneliness epidemic” is self-inflicted.

This is how you normalize authoritarianism.

Pope Leo’s first US episcopal appointment, San Diego’s Bishop-designate Pham, a Vietnamese refugee, invites priests and faith leaders to “stand in solidarity”with migrants at courthouse on June 20, as they make court appearances.

Been saying it. Will continue to say it.

Concierge said, “Damn boy, you’re looking good. Hitting that gym hard?” Dear reader, I forgot about the state of America for three full minutes. 😂

The biggest most beautiful and authentic parade ever huh. washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/tlg/d/wa...

A singular act of defiance that will never go out of style.
